While county supervisors just ushered in a new animal shelter, Rose Tingle calls on the rest of OC to step up, wondering why there are four nonprofit humane society campuses offering adoptions and teaching humane education to children in San Diego vs zero campuses in Orange County currently.

OC Animal rights activist Rose Tingle writes that given the county’s total lack of focus on the animal shelter, cities are finally waking up and leaving the county board of supervisors behind taking up for themselves the task of a new shelter.

The panel issued a scathing report, saying the county’s leadership has allowed the 74-year-old structure to fall into a state of “utter disrepair,” with the health of animals and people being put at risk.

Chapman University Law Professor and former Orange County supervisor chief of staff Mario Mainero discusses the controversies enveloping the county District Attorney's office. The discord has fueled an election challenge to incumbent Tony Rackauckas from Supervisor Todd Spitzer. But many observers are pushing for an “outsider” to enter the race. Is Mainero the answer? He discusses the state of justice in OC and whether he'll run for DA.

It’s been more than 14 months since Orange County voters approved an ethics commission. Still, only one county supervisor – Shawn Nelson – has appointed a board member to the important oversight panel, which has yet to publicize any actions or the appointment process.
